How odd though that they didn't even really have a camp body in to push him, and now cut him with a few days before game one - whereas Nick Folk had a "competitor" signed almost immediately in the offseason, and remains.

Yeah he was an All-Pro in 2009 and 2010. Excellent punter til last year. Was a victim of his own success a bit with cost, and the Eagles have a good young and cheaper leg in Henry. Jets are apparently still 8M under the cap or so, plus I would assume the price on McBriar comes in around what Conley costs at this point since he has some guaranteed money doled out to him from the Eagles upon his release.

However, as pointed out above, Coz now says he has confirmed they have NOT signed McBriar. That may mean its just not official yet - but you would think they would have signed someone as a precursor to the Conley cut. We'll see.

Both tied for 30th in Gross Avg with TJ Conley last year at 42.7 yds; both came in BEHIND Conley in Net Avg. Baker was dead last in Net short of Rich McGee and Robert Malone, who had 8 and 5 punts last year each, respectively.

Neither rated particularly well in directional kicking, with Baker at 25th in Inside 20 punts and Harris at 29th.

Now some of these stats are dependent upon location, coverage teams, etc. But neither is particularly appealing it would seem. Baker is an 11 year veteran who the Panthers cut after last season. Funny enough, Harris was in camp as Baker's replacement this year, but was cut for drafted punter Brad Nortman.
